Food is my BFF

(BFF= best friend forever, mom) As you probably have caught onto already, Cooper and I prefer nice nights at home together over most anything else on a date night, except for amusement parks and buffets. Ergo, ( I sure do like that word!) last night was the perfect night for us; home cooked meal cooked by two expert chefs err... eaters and Call of Duty (hello activity that does not require thinking!) We made potato skins and Poppy seed chicken casserole- have you tried that stuff? YUMMY IN MY OVERFILLED TUMMY- and only 50 calories per serving, no carbs, no sugars, and tons of fiber too;-) I told you I was a little liar.

Ingredients for the casserole:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 sleeve buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed

1 teaspoon poppy seeds, or more if desired

1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese Directions

1.Place the chicken breasts into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. Drain the water, then shred the chicken.

2.Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine the butter, crackers, and poppy seeds in a bowl; set aside.

3.Blend the sour cream and cream of chicken soup in a bowl; pour half of the soup mixture into a 9x9-inch baking dish. Add the shredded chicken, then pour the remaining half of the soup mixture on top. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, then top with the cracker mixture.

4.Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.

5. Watch the clock and drool for the whole 25-30 minutes. Sometimes food takes way too long and it's not nice...

6. Take silly pictures showing how yummy the casserole is

Clearly. If I would have seen this picture without knowing what what going on, I would have thought to myself, "self- they really look like they are enjoying that there casserole!"

Maybe not.

5. Thank us for sharing this with you and tell me how my taste in food is impeccable. And then I will say back, "Oh, you are too kind! It's a gift, really"

6. Go to Chik-Fil-a and Yogurtini because 3 helpings of casserole AND potato skins is clearly NOT enough to fill anyone. Call us heffers and see what happens...

(Yes, I am wrapped in a blanket- we are in a jeep and its chilly!)

And there you have it-perfection in the form of poppy seeds and frozen yogurt!

~I had a reader come up to me today to say hi who I had not met (Hey Taryn!) and it made my day, thanks girl!~
